EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP)—Tarvaris Jackson(notes) is entrenched as Minnesota’s backup to quarterback

Brett Favre(notes), despite sharp play in exhibition games this month by Sage Rosenfels

(notes).

Coach Brad Childress confirmed Monday that Jackson remains No. 2 and Rosenfels is still No. 3. Childress said he’s seen “an evolution” and “a growth” in Jackson since the beginning of training camp.

Asked if the depth chart could change, Childress said “it would probably be hard for it to change.”

The Vikings face a difficult decision about how many quarterbacks to keep with the roster cutdown looming this weekend. Rosenfels’s $2.6 million salary this season is high for a third-stringer. And in order to put rookie Joe Webb(notes) on the practice squad, the Vikings would have to first expose him to waivers.

So Rick, after this season the vikings roster will still be pretty solid. And you want that solid lineup to be put in the hands of Junkson to see if hes learned anything? That is something you do when you have a 4-12 team, not a playoff caliber team. Rolling the dice on a QB who clearly doesnt get it is a horrible idea, yet sure as **** Chilly will do it. You would think after 2008 he would learn? I doubt it....

Ummmm, after this season we have 15 players who are Free Agents not to mention Pat Williams and Favre will likely retire (if you add them in we have 17 free agents next season).

As for Chilly I would prefer seeing him in charge of player personell for the Vikes rather than as coach.

It is worrisome having T-jack placed in as a starter and it may yet happen this season but if we're going to be in rebuild mode next year and we don't have a better option at the beginning of next season of course they should see what T-Jack can do.

I have a feeling Favre is only going to play about half the games this year with that ankle. If you watch him throw the ball, he can't even follow through correctly on his weight transfer to his front leg...he's bailing out...even in practice.

I think we'll all get plenty of TJack...it'll be very interesting to see what they do with Sage if Favre's ankle is truly as bad as it seems. IMO, the Vikes need to keep him around...we'll see by the end of the week.

I wouldn't consider the Vikes being in a rebuilding mode next year, we've done a really good job of building the past few years. Our only question mark is QB, it's been the same question mark forever thats whats annoying.

Going into the season the biggest question mark without a doubt is our O-line, it all starts in the trenches. We need to protect Favre, hopefully they get it together.

I can't see how anyone can doubt Favre's toughness, this is the same exact talk just like last year how his arm is gonna fall off and he has no more zip on the balls. Then he comes out and has his best season ever, I'm sure the ankle is tender just from scrabbling around and starting to use it again. He's just taking it easy on it, when it's time to play he'll be a gamer.

Anyone can get hurt though, not saying he can't get hurt but look at his track record. His age doesn't help any but when your tough your tough, look at Couture he's 47 years old and still dominating fights.

If Favre went down tomorrow with a career ender the team would be better off with Sage. I'd rather keep all of them just in case and just have Webb use up a roster spot. Say Favre went down and then the back up went down shortly after, what are we gonna do then hand it over to Webb?

tarvaris jackson is not the future in my opinion. i would rather keep sage and webb. the scenario would be if farve went down and sage it would be webb. that would be unlikely. a guy like webb is a better bet. you can always pick up sombody in emergency situations. but jackson is not consistant and has no poise and panic's. good luck.

This may be way off the wall, but if Webb has the speed and agility, cut Sheppard and let Webb fill in for Cook. If the guy is as much of an athlete as everyone's been saying, give the guy a shot. He's got the hands and the speed. Atleast we could keep Sage on the roster that way.
